Safety

The Nissan Pathfinder stands out with its high safety standards, integrating modern and effective technologies to protect both driver and passengers in all conditions. Among its active safety features are the Automatic Emergency Braking system, which helps reduce collisions in critical situations, and the Blind Spot Monitoring system that alerts the driver when a vehicle is in a hard to see area. The car also features a Lane Departure Warning system that assists in keeping the vehicle safely within its lane.

As for passive safety, the Pathfinder comes equipped with eight airbags strategically placed throughout the cabin to ensure comprehensive protection for all occupants. The vehicle’s structure is built with high strength components designed to absorb impact and minimize the force transferred to the cabin in the event of an accident.

Purchase Cost

In the UAE, the new Nissan Pathfinder starts at approximately 145,000 AED for the base model. Assuming a 20 percent down payment of 29,000 AED and a 60 month loan at an annual interest rate of 1.9 percent, the estimated monthly installment is around 2,310 AED.

When it comes to resale value, the Pathfinder maintains a good portion of its original price over time. For example, if the average new price is 145,000 AED and the average resale value after four years is 85,000 AED, then the value retention rate is about 58.6 percent. This is a competitive figure compared to other vehicles in its segment.

Running Costs

Fuel consumption for the Nissan Pathfinder depends on the engine configuration. Assuming an average fuel consumption of 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers and a fuel price of 3.2 AED per liter in the UAE, the annual fuel cost would be approximately 4,560 AED based on a yearly driving distance of 15,000 kilometers.

Regarding maintenance, the Pathfinder requires routine servicing every 10,000 kilometers or once per year. Each service typically costs between 1,000 and 1,500 AED, depending on the type of service needed. These maintenance costs make it a relatively economical option in the SUV category.

Overall, the Nissan Pathfinder delivers a strong balance of safety, upfront value, and affordable day to day operation, making it a smart and practical choice for families in the UAE.
